Noise Complaints Rising In New York City
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Noise complaints are on the rise in New York City.
1010 WINS' Roger Stern reported noise complaints were up 18 percent in the first three months of 2016 from one year ago, as police wrote 65 percent fewer tickets.
Manhattan led the city in complaints and Washington Heights is one of the noisiest neighborhoods.
Leo told 1010 WINS he lives about two nightclubs in Washington Heights.
"They have bands, they have all kinds of music, and not only that, the people outside of the club are noisier than the ones inside the club," Leo said.
Police said writing noise complaint tickets is to an officer's discretion.
